claclana Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Hi I received a very small test kiln 120v, with pyrometer but no setter neither any way of stopping it but unplugging it! I would love to cook my small low fire clay pieces and see the glazes but no idea how to use it, can you give me a hand-guide? Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your kiln might be a Paragon Q-11A. It was available with and without an infinite control switch.

Mark C. Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Arnold I was amazed at that manual-I did not know that you have small electrics that only draw 10-14 amps- I realize the chamber is super small but still my Milwaukee hole hog and 9 inch grinder use more amps as hand tools.

Marcia Selsor Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 I have a little test kiln with interior dimensions in a hexagon shape 10" w by 9" tall. I can get a dozen mugs in it. I is about 20 years old, fires on household 120 V is a Crucible kiln from Seattle Pottery. I have replaced the switch and the single coil over the 20 years. I have fired ^6-7 tests in it often. It is the only kiln I brought with me from Montana to Texas. I bought new larger kilns and built raku kilns once I got here. Tests kilns are handy. Mine has a kiln setter and timer, infinite switch. Test kilns are handy to have. Armold is a wealth of kiln info. Paragons are a good brand and excellent customer service. I left a paragon in Montana.

claclana Posted March 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Thank you for your answers! the kiln is a "sno industries" model MK, 120v 12 amp, is made of three parts: 1- the base-floor, 2- the body with the elements connected with cables to a protrusion-little metal box attached with no switch or wheel or anything! with a peep hole , 6 1/2" x 6 1/2 x 4 1/2 high interior, and finally 3- the cover... I don't see any place where I could put a sitter (could be great that I just don't see it!) it came with a pyrometer with max. 2300 F, same Sno industries, NJ... thank you again!
